J.S. Bach: Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme, BWV 140 - The Church Cantatas, Vol. 120

BWV140 (25 November 1731) is one of Bach’s most famous cantatas, and rightly so. All three stanzas of the chorale `Wachet auf’ are used, with free poetry added. The opening chorus combines a theme of quiet footsteps with a lovely upward motive which quotes the beginning of the chorale melody. The sopranos sing the chorale in long notes above the lively other voices. The calls to activity sound continuously: wacht auf! wohlauf! steht auf! wo, wo! ihr, ihr! And then, at the end, the Allelujah takes off, almost hesitatingly, like a young bird leaving the nest for the first time. After a tenor recitative an unforgettable soprano/bass love duet follows, with a longing violin line, the bride (soul) waiting for bridegroom ChriSt The following chorale, well known as one of the Schuebler Chorales, combines the chorale tune with a most beautiful violin melody. Another recitative for the bass leads to a second duet of a totally different, very lively character. The text is logically wrong, but the message of bliss and unity makes us forget this easily. A heavenly chorale in more senses than one ends this unflawed masterwork.

Wunderschöne Interpretation dieser perfekt komponierten Kirchenkantate mit gut harmonisierten Stimmen des ausgezeichneten Chors und herrlichen Stimmen dreier genialen Solisten sowie gut vereinigten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Originalinstrumente. Der intelligente und erfahrene Dirigent leitet das ebenso ausgezeichnete Barockensemble im veränderlichen Tempo und mit sorgfältig kontrollierter Dynamik. Danke für die Sonntagsfreude wie immer!
